Abstract

The present invention is directed to methods and systems for the transfer of paper invoices into electronic invoices for electronic submission from a seller to a buyer. The systems and methods described herein use matching logic to transfer details of the paper invoices into electronic invoices, thereby streamlining the process of invoicing.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Traditional paper invoicing procedures typically involve the seller sending an invoice to a buyer which lists the purchases that have been made, and the buyer in turn sending the seller payment based on the total amount reflected in the invoice.
In order to avoid the hassle of lost invoices, payment, and to reduce the amount of wasted paper, electronic invoices are becoming more common. Invoices are sent electronically directly to the buyer and the buyer can then remit payment either directly to the seller or through the buyer's bank.
However, there are still drawbacks to conventional electronic invoices. Bulk invoicing, for example, can be particularly time consuming, as each individual invoice must be uploaded into a computer before they are sent to the buyer in bulk. In addition, electronic invoicing often requires manual entry of information by the seller, which can result in lost time, and ultimately, lost money.
There remains a need to streamline the electronic invoicing process in order to increase efficiency and accuracy, saving time and money for both the buyer and the seller.

Accordingly, while the present invention has been described here in detail in relation to its exemplary embodiments, it is to be understood that this disclosure is only illustrative and exemplary of the present invention and is made to provide an enabling disclosure of the invention. Accordingly, the foregoing disclosure is not intended to be construed or to limit the present invention or otherwise to exclude any other such embodiments, adaptations, variations, modifications and equivalent arrangements.
Electronic Invoicing
Using the system of the present invention, sellers are able to export invoice data from their account receivables, billing or other invoicing system and upload that data to be electronically sent through the system network. The system of the present invention provides an automatic configuration feature which walks sellers through the process of mapping an exported invoice file format to the buyer's invoicing fields in order to pre-certify their file format for production electronic invoicing. The system will ask the seller for specific invoice field values as a test invoice which the seller exports and uploads into the system. The system then automatically maps those values to the buyer's required invoice fields.
The automated mapping feature allows a user to convert paper invoices into electronic invoices. The system receives a scanned image of a paper invoice and uses the mapping feature to match the data from the image with the mapped field values, and insert the data into an electronic invoice form. The electronic invoice can then be sent directly to the buyer for reconciliation.
Another advantage of the system of the present invention is that is allows for bulk-upload of invoices. Typically bulk invoicing requires a separate mapping network at the seller's end, which can be very expensive and time consuming. The system of the present invention provides all mapping for the seller to allow for easy upload of multiple invoices.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a seller first sets up an account with the system 101. The seller then downloads instructions and a test invoice from the system for Buyer1 102. The seller will then enter the test invoice into their own accounts receivable system for completion of the appropriate data for the field values 103, exports the completed test invoice as a CSV file and uploads the CSV file to the invoicing system 104. In preferred embodiments, the invoice field values contain a range of tolerances that are acceptable to the seller. The system is programmed to recognize the reference transaction and the file type using recognition logic 105, and creates a mapping field to map the invoice field values using mapping logic 106. The system validates the data entered into by the seller using validation logic 107. If there is an error, the system will notify the seller using notification logic 108. The seller will need to reenter the information into the system, beginning at step 103. In certain embodiments, the system also presents the seller with a manual mapping tool to use for any information which the seller may need to input manually (not shown). If the test invoice has been uploaded accurately, the system will record the status of the invoice for the applicable buyer as “ready” using recordation logic 109. In certain embodiments, Buyer1 will receive a test transaction from the system to further validate the accuracy of the test invoice using testing logic 110. Seller will receive notification from the buyer, either directly or through the system, informing the seller that the test transaction has been completed 110. In certain embodiments, the seller creates a credit transaction to further test the test invoice 111.
Once the test invoice is completed and validated, seller can now begin to upload invoices into the system to convert paper invoices into electronic invoices. Single invoices can be uploaded, or invoices can be bulk-uploaded into the system. Referring now to FIG. 2, preferably, if the buyer is funding the account, then the seller simply faxes or mails the paper invoice to a number or mailbox which is specified for that particular buyer 201. The system then identifies the appropriate buyer fields in the invoice using identification logic 202, the invoice is scanned into the system 203, and then proceeds to invoice entry using routing logic, shown in FIG. 3 a. If the seller is funding the account, preferably the seller prepares a coversheet containing buyer identification 204. In certain embodiments, the cover sheet can be pre-printed with buyer information. The seller then faxes or mails the invoice with the coversheet to a single number or mailbox 205. The system scans in the coversheet and the invoice 206 and then checks the databases to determine if the buyer exists in the system using verification logic 207. If the buyer identification is not present in the system, the invoice proceeds to the rejection process using routing logic, shown in FIG. 3 b. If the buyer identification is present in the system, the system then determines if the buyer is a public or private company using determination logic 208. Preferably, private companies will have credit cards on file to charge settle the transaction 209. If the initial card transaction fails, the invoice proceeds to the rejection process using routing logic, shown in FIG. 3 b. If the initial card transaction passes, the system enters the invoice into the system 211 using routing logic, as shown in FIG. 3 a. Similarly for public companies, the system checks to verify the public company is in good standing using verification logic 210. If the public company is in good standing, the invoice gets entered into the system 211 using routing logic, as shown in FIG. 3 a. If the public company is not in good standing, the invoice proceeds to rejection using routing logic, as shown in FIG. 3 b.
Referring now to FIG. 3 a, if the invoice is proceeding to entry, the system verifies if there is an accompanying purchase order (PO) entered into the system using verification logic 301. If there is an accompanying PO, the system will input the invoice line detail into the invoice using matching logic 302, based on the test invoice previously entered. If the invoice field values contain a range of tolerances, the system will verify the data contained in the paper invoices fall within the range of tolerances (not shown). If the data does not fall within the range of tolerances, the system will notify the seller accordingly (not shown). If there is not an accompanying PO, the system will enter a summary of the invoice 303. The system will then automatically load all files to the disburser using loading logic 304, completing the entry process. In preferred embodiments, buyers with multiple invoices will be added collectively and billed monthly 305.
Referring now to FIG. 3 b, if the invoice is rejected, the system enters the reasons for rejection into the system using entry logic 306 and creates a notification 307 using notification logic which is then sent to the seller 308. Rejection notification may be sent, e.g., by e-mail, fax, or mail.
Non-Member Invoice Webforms
In certain embodiments, the present invention also allows buyers to provide select sellers who are not members of the network with the ability to submit invoices through a publicly available interface. Such an embodiment allows non-member sellers to submit invoice information to buyers through standardized web forms without the need to login or sign up for a network account.
In preferred embodiments, the standard webform has entry fields identified by the buyer and seller, a security control tool, and standard terms and conditions for electronic invoicing.
The non-member seller will be provided with information to find the appropriate form to use with the buyer. In order to facilitate the process, the system will store each buyer's unique identification. The non-member seller will then be able to use the buyer's identification to access the appropriate invoice.
Upon initial use, the buyer will verify buyer identification information, such as a unique number or an e-mail address, to ensure that sellers are receiving accurate information. Non-member sellers will also have identifying information stored on the system, such as, for example, a unique number or an e-mail address. The non-member seller identification will be used to link to the buyer's correct vendor, remittance site, and set, if there are multiple ERP's on record.
The buyer will provide all necessary information to the non-member seller, preferably in an e-mail, for logging onto the system and accessing the buyer invoice. Necessary webform information includes, e.g., a link to the interface, such as a URL, the buyer's identifying information (e.g., unique buyer organization system identification, buyer's requester e-mail address, etc.) and the seller's identifying information (e.g., seller's e-mail address, seller's remittance address, captcha code verification, etc.). Non-member seller invoice entry is typically initiated with a message from the buyer providing the non-member seller with the information the non-member seller will need to create an invoice. Once the non-member seller navigates to the public interface, an invoice webform will be presented. The non-member seller will be directed to complete the form appropriately. After completion of the webform, the system will verify if the identifying information for both the buyer and the seller is valid.
Once all information is validated, the buyer will then need to approve the invoice. The buyer will receive notification from the system that an invoice has been submitted by a seller. Invoices will be stored in the system and accessible to the buyer. The buyer can search for invoices though the system, based on their unique permissions. The buyer can then add additional information if needed, save for later submission, approve or reject the invoice.
Referring now to FIG. 4, the buyer will first enter the non-member seller identification into the system 401. When the buyer has entered multiple non-member sellers into the system, the buyer has the option to select the specific non-member seller who will receive the webform information 402. A notification is then sent to the seller regarding their entry into the system using notification logic 403. The notification will contain the necessary information required to access the buyer's webform, which includes a URL, hyperlink or web address to the public interface. Either the system or the buyer can send the notification to the non-member. The non-member seller will then access the interface to obtain the webform 404. The non-member seller enters the requested identifying information into the system 405, along with invoice data directly into the webform 406. For security purposes, the interface may require the seller to provide security information, such as, e.g., a challenge key, numerical identification number (e.g., non-sequential 6-11 digit number), e-mail address of buyer or seller, captcha image, etc. 407. The system may also require that the seller accept the interface terms and conditions 407. Once completed, the seller then sends the invoice request into the system 408. The system determines if the requested identifying information is valid using validation logic 409. If valid, the invoice request is converted to an invoice and proceeds to invoice exception processing using routing logic 410. If the credentials cannot be validated by the system, the system will notify the seller of the rejection using notification logic 413. Once validated, the system then verifies that all information inserted into the webform is in proper format using verification logic 410. If validated, the invoice then moves on for buyer approval using routing logic 411. If the invoice information is not validated, the seller will receive notification from the system of the same using notification logic 413.
Additional System Capabilities
In addition to electronic invoice submission, the system of the present invention can be used in conjunction with existing ERP and legacy applications to create a central seller management system that improves and simplifies seller profile data. In such embodiments, the system additionally provides advanced shipment notification, invoice payment processes, rich remittance data with payments, real time validation and matching, online status tracking, collaborative online dispute resolution, and robust security.
The foregoing description of various embodiments of the invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to limit the invention to the precise forms described.
